Summary: 


     Networking PC's together is not very hard, the problem is finding
a networking system that suits your needs.  Most of my experience have been
with PCNet and EtherNet (Both with Novell).  Novell is an operating shell
that provides multilevel security of files on the server.  And allows a
PC to have a hard drive with more than 32 Megs.  It also helps throughput
of the whole network by having multiple caches, and elevator seeking on the
hard drive.  It also handles spooling of serial and parallel printers.  
Gateways are also available for Network to Network communications.

     If you tell me more of what you want, maybe I can help you find a 
suitable LAN.
